Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Edmond Didn't See Her Worth

The photo was taken before her wedding, and photoshopped by Grace.

She had over a hundred of them at the time, each one with a different man.

Her aim was to have a perfect counterstrike the day any of Edmond's mistresses decided to flaunt their relationship.

Indeed, the recipient of the photo never responded.

After descending to have breakfast, Kalinda's face looked a little unwell. Seeing Alicia, her eyes flickered, somewhat guilty.

Alicia ignored it, quietly eating her congee.

On the other hand, Peter seemed very calm, taking the initiative to talk about work with Alicia.

"Is everything manageable at the company?"

"It's okay. I'm getting used to it."

"You've just taken over recently. If you're still uncomfortable, I can arrange a couple of secretaries to help."

"No need, Dad. I can handle it."

Alicia responded politely.

Peter sighed.

"If it weren't for that stubborn child Edmond refusing to take over the company, I wouldn't have to trouble you so much. Licia, I know it's a big pressure shifting from the president's secretary to acting president, but I believe you will do a good job."

"The Agos Family has given me a lot, and it's an opportunity for me to repay. Nothing is too difficult or too easy. Thank you for believing in me, Dad."

After breakfast, Xu Wei was preparing to go to work.

Just as she was about to step out, Kalinda suddenly said, "How about accompanying me to the jewelry store this afternoon, Licia?"

She answered honestly, "I have a meeting later, but I should have time to accompany you afterwards."

"Good, then I'll wait for you."

Alicia could see that her mother-in-law wanted an opportunity to talk to her alone.

When she arrived at the company, she was stuck at work.

The Agos Group was a company built from the ground up by Peter Agospany. Unfortunately, Edmond, who studied medicine, had no interest in inheriting his father's business. With Peter's health failing, he had no choice but to entrust the company to his most trusted aide, Alicia.

She had already taken over a month ago.

But there were still many voices of discontent towards her in the company.

As soon as Edmond arrived at the company, he overheard several secretaries gossiping about Alicia in the break room.

"They say she climbed into the boss's bed to get the position of acting president..."

"She looks pure and unaffected on the surface, but in fact, she's quite provocative in her bones. Without her cunning tactics, she could never have secured her place in this affluent family."

"Doesn't Mr. Agos have a son? Why doesn't Alicia hook up with him? Why choose an old man?"

"Are you talking about Young Master Ed? Oh, please no. He's my dream guy. Although he's somewhat of a playboy, his appearance absolutely suits my taste. Such an exquisite specimen should not be squandered on Alicia."
